Kevin Garnett is one of the most well-known players in the NBA, having been in the league since being drafted out of high school by the Minnesota Timberwolves in 1995. He was the first player drafted out of high school since 1975, and ushered in an era of high school players moving straight to the NBA. While playing for the Timberwolves Garnett became a dominant force in the NBA, but he was never able to lead them to an NBA Championship. He was ultimately traded to the Boston Celtics, and won an NBA Championship in his first year with the Celtics in 2008.
